The only reason he looks amazing is because he’s not playing against 11 defenders week in week out.

That's not the only reason at all.The only reason he looks amazing is because he’s not playing against 11 defenders week in week out.
Jesus is an excellent player, and will become more consistent with regular playing time.
Class of 2022 really are fucking awful.Scored the same amount of goals as him this season, haaland is good but jesus is proven

A perfect fit for him with a manager who will give him time, confidence and allow him to play his natural game. So far so good from him, but interested to see how he gets on against the tougher sides in the division.
He always looked better for us in the CL than in the league, but his energy and attitude was always faultless, and he was a thorn in Liverpool's side in plenty of games. I hope it works out well for him. Undoubtedly someone we wanted to keep, but the World Cup spot was something he had to push for and fair enough.
He could never do it as a no.9 at City, week in week out so we reverted to a false 9 with him wider on several occasions. The style of Arsenal and that freedom to play a more natural game without concern of losing the ball so much may benefit him. We shall see.

pleased for him, he will stay good to.
the difference is we play more big games than arsenal as we consistently title chase and reach the last stages of the UCL, not to be to hard on jesus but he isnt a top level game changer and this is what pep is after. He wasn't the sergio or the haaland.
for arsenal, when they play their biggest game of the season jesus is a starter for them.

The only question mark against him was self belief, his head would drop if he missed a chance or was not playing well.Lot of revisionism on this thread.
Jesus was always a great player and his stats for us back that up.
Great record, great attitude, great workrate.
Arsenal playing a higher velocity of football now with him and Zin.
You can see the runners and people sparking off each other.
What can you do, he wanted to start every week.
He will get that and not the medals, that's the trade off.
Last season he seemed to have changed, maybe matured, fatherhood has done wonders for him.
Delighted with his start, a guy with a wonderful attitude, Arsenal are very lucky to have him.

Should have had more game time with us. Will miss out on his best years. Opportunity missed.
Yup, that's the reason.The only reason he looks amazing is because he’s not playing against 11 defenders week in week out.
Farouq knows his stuff.
Blocked, so I do miss that kind of insight in the future.
